When it comes to opening up the balcony into the room, there are always people who oppose: the balcony has the use of the balcony, why do you have to open it? But from the perspective of small apartment owners, the interior can really be much larger after opening up! Savvy owners have learned to only open the balcony, but insist on not packing into the room, doubling the space, not to mention that it can also be transformed into a "small suite", which is not a second to kill the same area of the house!
Considering that the balcony of the living room and the second bedroom will be used for washing and drying, so we are mainly aimed at the children's house, the room of Jiajia in the fire "Little Min Family" some time ago is a good example, although the balcony is opened, but still designed a hollow storage shelf as a partition, dividing the space while maintaining ventilation and lighting.
The left side is used as a bedside table, the right side is a picture scroll storage shelf, and the balcony after opening up is transformed into a studio, with a desk, drawing board and various painting tools, which not only expands the sense of indoor transparency, but also gives children an exclusive creative space, killing two birds with one stone.
So what functional areas can be used as functional areas in the children's room when the balcony is open but not included indoors?
(1) Picture room
This children's room is similar to Jiajia's bedroom, the same is used as a studio, in addition to the drawing board, there is a bay window and locker integrated design, usually painting tired can also stop and rest, storage space is very sufficient, storage scattered tools will not appear messy, if the family children learn to draw, you can refer to it.
(2) Relaxation area
The balcony partition wall is removed and replaced with a thin wall, and some "round holes" of different sizes are designed in the middle, which looks both beautiful and airy. The balcony platform can usually be used as a leisure and entertainment area for children, or it can be a quiet reading area, and the bottom space with storage needs should not be wasted. The terrace can also be used as a temporary guest room when needed.
(3) Study
In addition to the bed in the children's room, the most indispensable thing is the storage and desk, if there is a small balcony outside, you can try to separate the rest and study space, the balcony can be raised a few centimeters above the ground, and the child can have a bright and quiet independent learning space.
Opening up the balcony is the most popular design for decoration now, but remember that not all walls can be demolished, do not move when encountering load-bearing walls and counterweight walls, and the load-bearing of the concave and convex balconies is different, and there are also differences in utilization, it is best to listen to the opinions of the decoration master.
In fact, many people choose to open the balcony just to want the indoor lighting to become better, the space becomes larger, but this does not affect the basic function of the balcony, whether you are designing the platform or changing it to a study is OK, as long as the safety is guaranteed.
